Pleasant Hill residents Darcy Mathews and her daughter, Maddy, traveled to Florida in March to celebrate Maddy’s Sweet 16 birthday during her first trip to the gulf. They visited Fort Lauderdale and Miami, where they hung out on the beach and snorkeled, shopped and ate key lime pie. During the spring break trip, they also enjoyed the night life of Key West and catching up on the community news in the Pleasant Hill/Martinez Record at the southernmost point in the continental United States.

It doesn’t matter if your time away is spent across San Francisco Bay or across the country — remember to pack the Record to keep up with news of the community, and then show your neighbors where you have been.
